On the Road.
After teleporting away from Feanor and taking the horse in Bree, she ran off completely clueless on where she should go or where she was going. She knows nothing of these lands and doesn't even have a map.
She knows she wants to go to the Blue Mountains, where she was told Thorin and the Dwarves with him are staying, but she has no idea how to reach it and she knows one thing for sure: she can't stop riding for any reason, she fears Feanor like hell and she thinks he is already on her track, so she wants to exploit her advantage as much as possible.
By mere luck though, after one day of riding, she met Gandalf on her way, riding in the opposite direction, intending to go to Rivendell to accompany Fili, Balin and the Hobbits on the way to the Ered Luin as well. Though, she doesn't feel at ease to go to Rivendell among other Elves, she fears someone might direct Feanor there and all, so she claims to continue her path to the Ered Luin on her own, to reach it as soon as possible.
Gandalf naturally explains her the way and gives her a map, pointing her on a safe path that will lead her there faster and that hopefully would slow Feanor down if he was indeed after her, as it goes through many Dwarven villages and outposts, who would definitely not welcome an armed Elf and would slow him down in tens of ways.
It takes her about one week to reach the doors of the Blue Mountains and she really went as fast as possible, never taking a break if not for the horse who needed rest to survive and continue.
As she reaches the door, both her and the horse are not in the best conditions, it's clear Feanor really scared her to the point she pushed so hard.
She even falls when she dismounts, but still stands up and approaches the gate, that is being guarded of course, and one of the dwarves there is Bofur.
Of course, they don't want to let her go in so lightly, they are not even sure to which race and realm she actually belongs to. They fear she could be some sort of spy of the Elves or something like that, though the fact she keeps saying that there is a dark elf after her sounds convincing enough, also the fact she swears to know Thorin and to be there to see him.
Eventually, Bofur indeed goes to look for Thorin to tell him about the strange woman.

She chuckles and bows, heading to take the bat,, so that she can go have some rest afterwards.
Balin. ~What did he say? ~
A dark rider? ~ He asks in a loud tone.
Balin. ~I think it could be and I do not like it. I know what is said of that elf. If he hears about the treasures of Erebor, he could try to steal it from us. ~
He nods at Thorin. «And so it shall stay. But if that elf will manage to get to us and stalk us, we might be in troubles on the way.»
